XP native Unzip program

[ions]

Dear Expert,

I created a MS Access program that unzips a file using XP's native unzip program.

I now need to run this program on an Windows 2000 Advanced Server.

I noticed that on this server the unzip software is called IZArc Archiver. ( I never heard of this program)

I need to be able to use the XP native unzip program because the following line of code doesn't work with IZArc Archiver.

 'Unzipping:
        Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
        objShell.NameSpace(extractZipTo).CopyHere objShell.NameSpace(pathToZipFile).Items

How can I download the XP native Unzip Program ( I believe it is called "Compressed (Zipped) Folders) for Windows 2000 Advanced Server?

Please note for some reason when I try to Unzip the file using WinZip I get a totally different error.

At this point the code works flawlessly with the Windows XP native unzip program.


Thank you

How can I download the XP native Unzip Program ...

Install XP on the machine if you want XP's features.
So basically you can';t add it to 2000.

I use this:

ZIP and Unzip from within Access
It does work with Windows 2000 server.

Hope tyhis helps ...

Thanks HiTechCoach,

What code module has the VBA code for executing the UnZip routine?

Peter.

Perhaps I will import all modules and classes into my database and use the function

UnZip(Me.txtIn, Me.txtOut)

although this is a lot of code to add to my database.

Thanks.

Yes, That would be the best approach.

I import lots of code modules into databases I work on. There is almost always some code that I may never used, but who knows what futures need we will have to handle. Note; I have not had any performance issues doing this.
